DataPath Continues Milcom Ops With DISA Award

DataPath, Inc. has been awarded $1.7 million to provide field services support for the Ramstein Air Base satellite communications teleport operated by the U.S. Air Force. This funding continues DataPath‘s support of the Ramstein teleport and is from exercised options on an existing delivery order. The teleport is a vital Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) hub for military communications and links military X-band networks with commercial Ku-band networks to enhance overall bandwidth capacity and provide network-centric, high-bandwidth capabilities to U.S. forces. DataPath installed the teleport and has supported it for seven years. The company has more than 200 personnel supporting the U.S. military in 60 locations and nine countries. In addition to supporting the DISA teleport network, DataPath field personnel specialize in designing, installing and managing other critical communications network programs such as the U.S. Army’s Joint Network Node (JNN)/Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) and Deployable Ku Band Earth Terminal (DKET) programs as well as the U.S. Marine Corps‘ Support Wide Area Network (SWAN) program. Program Manager WIN-T’s Commercial SATCOM Terminal Program at the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, N.J. made the award through the Worldwide Satellite Systems contract.
